Really good

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2005)

This film has been given a lot of harsh feedback by many people. Which is really a shame. "The Island" was very good. It had a great cast, good storyline and plenty of action which kept me entertained throughout. The film is lengthy but surprisingly I didn't look at my watch once (which i usually do for movies that are quite lengthy).
The thing I really enjoyed about "The Island" was the idea behind it. The story was really interesting. I quite often found myself sitting (in the cinema, next to whitey), putting myself in people's shoes. The clones for example, I looked at the story from their p.o.v, and did the same with the other people.
Being quite far-fetched and futuristic I was surprised at just how believable the film was. Though it was set in the future, I didn't feel that I was watching someone's 'dream' of how they want the future to be like. I felt that most things shown will probably happen in the future.
Overall, this film was great. Even if your not sure, due to all of the bad reviews, give it a go and see what you think, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
